FW: Russian Gift to the United States
This is the first that I have heard of this monument to those who died on 9/11. I looked it up and it certainly is there on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River (Bayonne, New Jersey), in line with the Statue of Liberty . See below facts about the monument.

FW: Call before you dig
You may or may not know about the law requiring you call for utility locating before you do any excavation. The pictures below are a result of a guy using a post hole digger with out calling for “locates” and he hit an underground, high-pressure cross country gas pipe.
They never did find the remains of the guy…. It took out 2 homes.

FW: Bridge in Canada
SENT IN BY: Rebecca from Salt Lake City, UtahF
This is the actual turn-off From Banff , Alberta , Canada to the #1 highway to Calgary
Great picture isn’t it?
They had to build the animals (especially the elk) their own crossing because that was where the natural crossing was and after the highway was built there were far too many accidents.
It didn’t take the animals long to learn that this was their very own bridge!
And then you have some people saying ‘ Animals are stupid ‘. Really….?
